Chapter 240: Do I Have A Father?

Rainy felt wronged as she gave Xia Ruoxin a look. She had learned to read other people’s expression, and so when she saw the persistence in her mother’s eyes, she relented and stretched her feet out—two soft feet which were smaller than Xia Ruoxin’s palm. She pulled one of the feet and started washing.

“Mommy, itchy.” Ruoxin kept wriggling her foot and even splashed some water onto Xia Ruoxin’s clothes. However, she smiled instead. Only with her daughter could she be so relaxed.

On the bed, Rainy played with her doll after she tucked both her feet under the blanket. “Mommy.” She looked back, calling for her mother who was right behind her. Compared to the doll in her arms, Rainy’s eyelashes were longer, and she was more adorable.

“What is it?” Xia Ruoxin touched her daughter’s hair, carefully tidying it. Her locks were featherweight, worried that she would pull off the already-limited hair.

“Mommy, do I have a father?” She put the doll down, turned, and squatted in front of Xia Ruoxin.

She was visibly stunned. It has been three years, Rainy’s age. She had never heard her daughter say ‘Daddy’. This was the first time she asked about her father.

“Mommy, I have a father. Right? My father doesn’t want me and Mommy.” She stared unblinking at Xia Ruoxin with her big, round eyes and asked. In her life, there was only Mommy, no Daddy. To her, Daddy was blank. She knew that having a father might be similar to the affection she had received from the uncles.

Xia Ruoxin held her daughter tightly and sobbed, “Rainy has a father, but he doesn’t know of her existence. Nevertheless, he loves her very much. You are so adorable and obedient. He will love you.”

She could not figure out how she could have said those words. She had experienced Li Manni’s sarcastic words and Chu Lui’s cruelty. She couldn’t be sure whether he would like Rainy.

As Li Manni had said to her, he hated her so he would also hate her daughter.

Rainy tugged at Xia Ruoxin’s clothes. Was there sadness in her usually bright eyes?

“Rainy only wants Mommy. I don’t want Daddy.” Her lips quivered, and her voice turned softer. It only made Xia Ruoxin ached for her as tears began to well up in her eyes.

She thought her daughter did not care. However, now, she knew that not having a father had caused a severe effect on the girl’s life. She was such a useless woman. Her daughter had never had a good day, and now, she had brought such a calamity into her life.

Life for her as a mother was toiling, but her daughter had also been a pitiful child.

The lighting in the house was dimmed. She held her daughter in her arms, and yet her eyes were wide open. At the thought of what had happened today, she couldn’t sleep. Her encounter with Chu Lui was similar to meeting the devil. She could recall his expression from four years ago, his ruthlessness and the way he told her about his hatred for her.
